TL;DR · 核心要点

马来西亚移民局签发的《临时就业访客通行证》(PL(KS))是外籍劳工合法在马工作的核心许可。关键合规要求包括:雇主须经内政部地方审批中心批准配额并缴纳外劳税;外籍劳工须持VDR签证入境,禁带家属、不得擅自换工、年龄限18–45岁、最长居留5年;所有申请及续期须在入境后1个月内完成,续期需提前3个月提交;健康检查须由FOMEMA认证机构出具清洁健康证明。企业须承担担保金、遣返责任及逃逸报告义务。违规将导致PL(KS)撤销,并影响雇主未来招聘资格。

✅ 合规行动清单 · Compliance Checklist

  • 立即向内政部地方审批中心(LCA)申请外劳配额并缴清外劳税,否则无法启动VDR流程
  • 确保外籍员工在获批VDR后、入境前完成FOMEMA认证诊所的体检并取得清洁健康证明
  • 在PL(KS)到期前3个月向移民局总部外国工人处提交续期申请,并附12个月以上有效期护照复印件
  • Apply for foreign worker quota approval and pay the levy at the Ministry of Home Affairs’ Local Centre of Approval before initiating VDR processing
  • Ensure foreign workers complete mandatory FOMEMA-certified medical examination and obtain Clean Bill of Health before entering Malaysia
  • Submit PL(KS) extension application to Immigration Headquarters’ Foreign Workers Division no later than 3 months prior to expiry date

English Summary

The Visitor’s Pass (Temporary Employment), or PL(KS), is Malaysia’s official work pass for foreign workers. Employers must obtain quota approval from the Ministry of Home Affairs’ Local Centre of Approval, pay the foreign worker levy, and secure a Visa with Reference (VDR) before entry. Workers must be aged 18–45, may not bring dependents, change employers without approval, or exceed 5 years total stay. Applications and extensions must be completed within one month of entry; renewals require submission 3 months prior to expiry. Mandatory FOMEMA medical screening applies for 2nd/3rd-year renewals. Employers bear full responsibility for deposit guarantees (valid ≥18 months), repatriation upon expiry/termination, and immediate reporting of absconding workers to Immigration. Non-compliance risks revocation of PL(KS) and future hiring bans.

常见问题解答

外劳VDR获批后,是否必须从吉隆坡国际机场(KLIA)入境?+
是。除泰国和印尼籍外劳可经本国马使馆获签后从指定陆路口岸入境外,其他国籍外劳必须持VDR从KLIA入境,并在入境后30天内完成PL(KS)贴签。未按指定口岸入境将导致签证失效,且无法补办。
外包公司能否将已获批的外劳调至另一家企业?+
可以,但仅限同一行业领域内调派,且外包公司须全程承担该员工的合规责任,包括担保金、健康检查、遣返及逃逸报告义务,不得转嫁风险给实际用工单位。
外劳中途离职或被解雇,雇主需履行哪些法定程序?+
雇主须立即向移民局申报并申请注销其PL(KS);同步提交警方报案记录、逃逸报告表及雇主身份证件;若员工仍在境内,须安排其离境并提供离境证明,否则担保金不予退还。
PL(KS)续期时,是否每次都需要重新体检?+
不是。仅第二年及第三年续期时强制要求FOMEMA体检并提交清洁健康证明;首次申请及第一年续期无需重复体检,但须确保护照有效期不少于12个月。
担保金(Deposit/Insurance Guarantee)如何退还?+
仅当雇主提供有效证据(如离境章、新雇主接收函或移民局批文)证明外劳已合法离境、转雇或死亡,方可申请退还。逾期未办或材料不全,担保金自动 forfeited,且不计利息。
